An administrator needs to boot a VM to a bootable CD. The administrator tries to configure the VM to boot to it, select to add disk, and goes to the images available. The image for the bootable CD is unavailable.
What is the Likely issue?
Which AOS process determine if an I/O from a user will be written to OpLog or to an Extent Store?
An administrator is adding a node with a higher AOS release to an existing cluster.
What is the most efficient action an administrator should take to ensure it is in a supported state?
An administrator is concerned about the amount of data that a VM reading and writing to the storage fabric.
Which metric will provide that data?
How many Prism Central instances are required to deploy Leap:'
Refer to Exhibit:
An administrator is attempting to create an additional virtual switch on a newly deployed AHV cluster, using the two currently disconnected interfaces. The administrator is unable to select the disconnected interfaces when creating the virtual switch.
What is the likely cause of this issue?

In a default configuration of an AHV cluster, a single node fails.
What happens to the running VMs on that node?
An administrator wants to ensure that data in a container is stored in the most space efficient manner as quickly as possible after being written,
Which space efficiency too meets this requirement?
Where should an administrator unregister Prism Element from Prism Central?
What is he recommended approach for a constrained VM?

failure?
When creating a VM on an AHV cluster, how is the initial placement of the VM determined?
